EDITORS COMMENTS
The print captures a significant moment in history during the Napoleonic invasion of Prussia in 1806-1807. It depicts Prussian General Courbiere, the Commandant of Graudenz, and French envoy Savary engaged in a meeting. The fortress of Graudenz, located in present-day Poland, was successfully defended by General Courbiere against relentless attacks by French troops. This image is part of the "Bilder Deutscher Geschichte" (Pictures of German History) collection from 1936. It showcases an important chapter in European history when nations clashed for power and dominance. The cigarette card album produced by Cigaretten-Bilderdienst provides a visual narrative that allows us to delve into this historical event. General Courbiere's resolute defense strategy played a crucial role in protecting Graudenz from falling into enemy hands. This meeting between him and French envoy Savary represents diplomatic efforts amidst conflict, highlighting attempts at negotiation even amidst war-torn landscapes. The photograph itself exudes an air of historicity with its colorization techniques and attention to detail. It serves as a testament to the bravery and resilience displayed by individuals like General Courbiere during times of turmoil.
